The radar needs 3 pieces of information to determine the location of a target. The first piece of information is the angle of the radar beam with respect to north; called the "azimuth angle". The second is the angle of the beam with respect to the ground; called the "elevation angle".

What is elevation and azimuth angle?
Azimuth and Elevation are measures used to identify the position of a satellite flying overhead. Azimuth tells you what direction to face and Elevation tells you how high up in the sky to look. Both are measured in degrees. Azimuth varies from 0° to 360°. It starts with North at 0°.
What is elevation angle in radar?
Elevation angle is the angle between the horizontal plane and the line of sight, measured in the vertical plane. The reference direction (i.e. an elevation angle of zero degrees) is a horizontal line in the direction to the horizon, starting from the antenna.
What is azimuth and elevation in antenna?
The term azimuth is commonly found in reference to “the horizon” or “the horizontal” whereas the term elevation commonly refers to “the vertical”. When used to describe antenna patterns, these terms assume that the antenna is mounted (or measured) in the orientation in which it will be used.
What is meant by azimuth angle?
What's the azimuth? The azimuth is the angle between North, measured clockwise around the observer's horizon, and a celestial body (sun, moon). It determines the direction of the celestial body. For example, a celestial body due North has an azimuth of 0º, one due East 90º, one due South 180º and one due West 270º.
